Ep 26 - Doomscrolling vs. Pillow Talk: Are Phones Killing Our Marriages? | The Radke Show

📝 Show Notes

From a Lindale book signing to a TJ Maxx tent revival, Melissa's parents steal the show before Melissa and David tackle something closer to home: doomscrolling.

Melissa wonders what couples did in bed before the endless scroll—has late-night phone time quietly replaced pillow talk? David shares a challenge from Carlos Whittaker on America's addiction to rage, and Melissa compares our online habits to rubbernecking at every "digital car crash."

Then, in true Radke fashion, the couple swaps phones to reveal their Instagram, TikTok and Google search histories—yes, even the cat named Nuggy with a bloody knife.

It's a hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt look at how our phones are shaping marriage, connection, and faith.
